The processes by which organisms grow and develop are the result of evolution. Changes in how organisms grow and develop are the result of evolution.

For example, neoteny, the retention of juvenile characteristics into adulthood, describes much of what makes us different from chimpanzees. But the reason greater neoteny is an increased feature in humans compared to chimps is because of natural selection favoring individuals who retained certain features into adulthood that chimps lose.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
